This is limited, though; there is no way to open a link in a new tab, and find starts from the top of the page (bug?).
Personally, I find it more efficient and ergonomic to scroll and select links with my MBP's trackpad. Scrolling is especially fluid with two-finger smooth scrolling. Gestures and the changes to scrolling have allowed me to forgive a lot of weirdness about Lion and Mountain Lion.
I was able to type fSfa to open that link in a new tab and then open this reply box. My hands are usually on the home row, you are more comfortable having them on the trackpad. The benefit of using this plugin over a mouse is that I don't have to position the mouse over the link; I just press f then look at it on the screen and then press one or two more buttons.
